HIFK cuts player salaries and lay off staff
HIFK says most of HIFK Fotboll Ab’s office staff and coaches will be laid off and the salaries of the players on the representative team will be cut.
The players' options were either layoffs or adjusting salaries to the current difficult economic situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
A few players opted for layoffs, but most of the team met in terms of salaries. The solution saves about 25 percent of payroll costs for the rest of the period.
